Dr Topher Rowenhorst
Dr. Topher Rowenhorst, was first introduced to chiropractic following a car accident in his teen years. When an injury to his lower back was quickly resolved after seeing his local chiropractor, Topher decided that he would like to pursue it as a career. Topher received his Doctorate of Chiropractic from Cleveland Chiropractic College after getting a bachelors degree in Kinesiology from Drury University in Springfield, Missouri. Topher relocated to Boulder in 2009 and joined South Boulder Chiropractic in January of 2010.
Topher has experience working with difficult low back issues and specializes in a technique called Flexion Distraction. Flexion Distraction is a gentle form of manual traction that aims to reduce the internal pressure on the spinal discs as well as the pressure applied to the spinal nerves. It also helps to return the spinal joints to their normal function. Flexion Distraction has been shown to be very beneficial to conditions such as sciatic pain, disc herniations and general low back pain. Topher also enjoys working closely with athletes and treating sports related injuries.
While at Drury University, Topher was an All-American swimmer and was a two-time captain of teams that won NCAA Div II National Championships. He continues to be an active member of a local masters swimming team. Topher also enjoys mountain biking, rock climbing, and backpacking with his new wife, Dr. Hillary Rowenhorst, and their dog named Doc.
